GENESIS ALICE SPRINGS PROJECT RECOVERS NEW ROCK CHIP RESULTS INDICATING POTENTIAL FOR HIGH IRON MINERALISATION
Manganese and Iron focused, Genesis Resources Limited (ASX: GES) is pleased to announce to the market the encouraging results of the recent rock chip reconnaissance over the Magnetite and Triple Iron Hill prospects within the 100 per cent Genesis owned Alice Springs Project Genesis had commissioned its geologists to examine the Magnetite and Triple Iron Hill Prospect, within the tenement (EL 24817), with a view to evaluate the outcropping iron mineralisation. Thirty rock chip samples were taken over both iron prospects. The samples have indicated excellent first pass results over these two prospects. Based on these results, Genesis Resources has commissioned GPX Surveys Pty Ltd to conduct a detailed aerial electromagnetic and magnetic survey in April-May 2010.
Key points from the Reconnaissance Sampling include:
-
Iron mineralisation over Magnetite Hill appears to be mainly structurally controlled, within a fold sequence, with iron assays ranging from 37.49% to 63.72% Fe in outcrop (dominated by magnetite mineralisation)
-
Triple Iron Hill mineralisation ranges from 27.21% to 70.29% Fe in outcrop (also dominated by magnetite mineralisation)
-
These results justify further follow-up to determine the potential extent of the mineralisation sampled to date
-
Aerial electromagnetic and magnetic surveys will be carried out over the iron prospects, commencing in April-May 2010, these two prospects represent priority targets.
The rock chip samples were collected in March 2010, as part of the first pass reconnaissance sampling over the Magnetite and Triple Iron Hill areas, within the Alice Springs Project. Assay results of each sample taken in the reconnaissance assessment are set out below.
The Magnetite Hill prospect occurs as a robust outcrop of magnetite iron, forming a “U” shaped outcrop, resulting in a prominent hill and appearing as part of a folded sequence. The Prospect encompasses a total outcropping strike length of approximately 300 metres and up to 30 metres in width. Iron grades vary from 37.49 per cent to 63.72 per cent Fe, within banded magnetite-cherty outcrops. The surrounding country rock is dominated by quartz-muscovite schist with minor magnetite bands which assayed 14.97 per cent Fe (Sample MTH 001, Table 1).

The Triple Iron Hill Prospect is located approximately 3.9 kilometres to the northwest of Magnetite Hill. The Prospect occurs on a rounded low rise hill and is characterised by three prominent outcrops of magnetite rich iron formation, which protrude above the surrounding country rocks.
Individually, the outcrops are approximately 30 metres in strike extent, up to 20 metres in width and protrude above the ground surface by up to 10 metres, although the rounded hill itself is up to 30 metres above the surrounding country rock. (Table 2, Photograph 2). Along strike the iron formation disappears under cover. The outcropping iron formation protrudes above the surrounding country rock, a quartz mica

In commenting on these highly encouraging results, Pedro Kastellorizos, Managing Director, Genesis Resources Ltd said:
“We are delighted to have received such excellent first pass results for the Magnetite and Triple Iron Hill Prospects, within the Alice Springs Project. Based on the significance of the results, we have commissioned GPX Surveys Pty Ltd to fly an aerial survey in the coming weeks.”
“As part of the initial helicopter reconnaissance, Genesis also identified other iron bearing areas within the Project, which will be followed up during the month of April 2010, all signalling that an exciting period of development is ahead for Genesis.”
“These type of results are highly prospective and indicate the potential for a high grade iron mineralisation deposit. Accordingly, Genesis plans to accelerate progress to enable a follow up ground reconnaissance and geophysical surveys in order to progress to the next stage of the development process.”
